April 2006 Most Muscular with Beard

When I was accepted for the French movie, L'ille au Tresors, I was told to grow my beard. I had an idea they were going to put a wig on me too, a wig requires you to have hair for them to pin the wig to.

Then I got the Aquarius Sports Drink TV commercial, and they said I had to shave my head for the TVC, and it was in the contract. I agreed and signed the contract. They also implied but did not stipulate that I would be clean shaven, so I said nothing.

At this point I wanted both jobs. It seemed everytime I got one job it disqualified me for another. And the TVC paid as much in one day as the movie paid in 2 weeks.

And this is how I ended up with a shaved head and beard, the TVC guys were not happy until after my performance, then they were over the moon. The French movie guys liked the look and ditched the wig idea altogether.
